Como House and Garden

Celebrate your wedding at Como House and Garden, where a historic mansion and established gardens create a distinctive setting in South Yarra. We offer garden settings for ceremonies and photographs, followed by reception options in the historic Ballroom. Our National Trust weddings and functions team can help you discuss the setting, guest list and arrangements for your occasion.

Built in 1847, Como combines Australian Regency and Italianate architecture. Its interiors preserve the story of the Armytage family, while the gardens retain elements of their nineteenth-century design. These surroundings offer a heritage backdrop for your celebration, with the atmosphere of a town mansion rather than a purpose-built function centre.

Alongside weddings, Como is included among the National Trust properties available for public events and festivals. The estate also hosts cultural programs, exhibitions and guided experiences. Tell us your proposed event format so we can confirm which areas can be used and what conditions apply to the heritage property.

Curtis Stone Events is identified as the catering partner for Como House. Speak with our functions team about food, service and the requirements for your chosen event. Reception numbers, room layouts and outdoor-area capacities need to be confirmed for your specific booking; we do not present a general visitor limit as an event capacity.

Accessibility varies across the property. The grounds, café and accessible toilet can be used by visitors with access needs, while the historic house has limitations, including stairs. Discuss access and any portable-ramp arrangements before your visit or event. Private event access is arranged separately from ordinary house tours and public garden visits.
